Change windows hostname - 'early' just after imaging, before booting

[btsimonh]

Hi, just thought I’d share.
I’ve been looking at changing host name on XP just after imaging.
It works, but init.gz in /usr/share/fog/funcs.sh, you must change
REG_LOCAL_MACHINE_XP=“/ntfs/WINDOWS/system32/config/system”
to
REG_LOCAL_MACHINE_XP=“/ntfs/WINDOWS/system32/config/SYSTEM”
Note that also with ‘changeHostname’ in it’s current position in /bin/fog, it will only attempt to change the name in the LAST partition - i copied it to after every partition restore.
Note again also, it’s reliant on the partition being ntfs :(. Since ntfs does not play nice with XP embedded EWF, I’ll need to implement FAT32 in all the functionality which currently only works with ntfs.

[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
Can you tell me where I can find this in fog 1.1.2? Unfortunately I cannot find this folder in my installation.

It’s a part of the init.gz and I may have a workaround for this coming down the shoots.
